Adam Kinzinger at DNC

During the Democratic National Convention, former Rep. Adam Kinzinger delivered a scathing critique of Donald Trump, labeling him a 'weak man' and a 'perpetrator who can’t stop playing the victim.' Kinzinger, who has been a vocal critic of Trump, called for voters to support Vice President Kamala Harris, emphasizing the importance of defending democracy and fundamental American values over party loyalty. In response, Trump's attorney Alina Habba dismissed Kinzinger's comments, calling him 'pathetic' and telling him to 'sit the hell down.' Kinzinger's endorsement of Harris comes amid a growing rift within the Republican Party, with several former Republicans publicly supporting the Democratic ticket. The DNC saw an average viewership of 26.2 million, showcasing the event's significant impact despite Habba's critique of Kinzinger's alliance with Democrats. Other Republicans, including former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, echoed Kinzinger's sentiments, indicating a shift among traditional conservatives disillusioned with Trump's leadership.
